We oppose the new programming schedule adopted by KPFK interim management without listener input, which dropped, reduced or rescheduled grassroots programs. We urge that it swiftly be replaced by a new “grid,” one adopted after broad consultation with listeners, programmers and community activists about how air-time on KPFK can best be used to meet the communities’ needs and to fulfill the Pacifica mission to explore the reasons for conflict and promote peace.
The recent changes cannot be allowed to stand, because they will silence truth-telling on KPFK, exactly at the moment when economic, political, social and environmental crises cry out for a medium of communication open to the struggles and resistance of popular movements. KPFK must be a voice of community activism, cultural and ethnic diversity, and incisive dissent.
